THE PROBLEM SOLVED ! 

The reason why the ]N^aumkeag Clothing Company leads 
all others in low prices, is that they are the only clothing 
dealers in the connty mannfactoring their own garments. 

The wholesale headquarters and manufacturing rooms of 
this company are in the Marlboro building, Boston, extending 
from 395 to 401 Washington street. In this vast establish- 
ment some 200 cutters can be seen at work, and over 3000 
men and women are employed in keeping up the supply for 
the company's stores — 34 in number. 

It is not necessary to enlarge upon our theme — "logic 
is logic," as good Dr. Holmes has said ; hence the ability of 
the ISTaumkeag to undersell all competitors. 

At the I^aumkeag can be seen a manufacturing stock of 
winter clothing of the latest styles, all of which is being rap- 
idly depleted to give room for more. Fine work, first-class 
materinl, artistic fits and low prices, is the story in a nut-shell. 
Buy at the Naumkeag and you will be satisfied and happy.

THE PURPOSE. 




HIS book hardly needs an introductory chapter, as the names 
nnd theme it chronicles are a part and parcel of the his- 
tory of the government under which we live and prosper; 
— nay, the very life of the nation was preserved througli 
the throes of a struggle in Avhich the Union volunteers engaged, 
which has left, and will continue to leave, its impress upon men 
of every clime, nationality, and condition. 

Thousands of young men, among the noblest and best of the land, 
patriotically yielded up their lives on the field of battle that the 
government by the people might not perish from the earth. 

The living of that vast army of patriots are with us — some maimed 

and battle-scarred and they should receive that honor which they 

so richly deserve. 

It is a burning shame that we have men — or those who are suf- 
fered to pass as such — trying to stir up a popular clamor against 
the granting of pensions to soldiers, basing their opposition to this 
provision of the government to cancel a debt honestly incurred, on 
mere technicalities — the creations and rulings of an unjust judge,' 
who, forgetful of the past, obeys the behests of politicians who never 
had any love or reverence to spare for the old flag. 

When the life of the nation hung trembling in the balance, word- 
quibbling on the enrollment papers was unknown. Then it was that 
promises to the soldier Avere unstinted, and the sentiment evoked 
from hearts wrung with fear and anguish, was : " Enlist, and we 
will see that you and your families shall never want for anything." 



4 TiiK puiirosE. 

But a new generation has been evolved through the process of 
growth, and much of the significance of the War for the Union 
is lost sight of in the absorbing activities of the present time. The 
living participants, however, in that terrible struggle, can never for- 
get what the war cost in blood and treasure, nor the many bless- 
ings a "conquered peace" has brought to the living, and will bring- 
to men down to the latest generations. 

The following pages contain much that is of interest, not only to 
Grand Army Comrades, but to citizens generally. Besides sketches 
and rosters of the Posts in Salem, Beverly, Danvers, Peabody, and 
Marblehead, there will be found other interesting reading matter, 
together with portraits of ]>romineut G. A. K. men.

SALE M . 



SKETCH OF POST 34, G. A. R. 

Tile charter of Thil H. ShericUui Post 34, G. A. II., of Salein, is dated Nov. 
15, 1867, but the post was not organized until Dec. 10 of the same year. 
A. J. Cushniiu was department commander at the time, and J, T. Lurvey 
assistant adjutant-general, whose names are officially appended to the 
charter. The charter members were : Gen. George H. Peirson, Capt. 
George A. Fisher, Capt. George M. Whipple, Capt. R. W. Reeves, E. H. 
Fletcher, John P. Tilton, Lieut. Samuel Dalton (now adjutant-general of 
the state), Capt. John R. Lakeraan, Capt. Edward A. Phalen, and Capt. 
John P.Reynolds. ^ (ry\ ^.,^^6t-w-'*>'^ ^.^/.P^-*^ 

Post ;J4 was the first P^ in the country to adopt General Sheridan's 
name in full, and ie:iii^he General visited Salem and the comrades of 
the Post at their head(^iarters, in recognition of that which he was pleased 
to call an honor -the naming of the Post for him. 

At the installation of officers, which took place in a hall in Bowker 
block, there were present several comrades from Gen. Lander Post 5, of 
Lynn, including Capt. J. G. B. Adams, who assisted in the ceremonies. The 
membership rapidly increased until there were, at one time, nearly 600 
names on the muster roll, and it was then the largest Post in the state. 
The first officers were: Commander, Gen, GeorgeJH. Peirson; S. V. C.,_ 
Capt. Edward A. Phalen ; J. V. C, Capt. ^^fW. Reevi^TAdJiItairt;' Capt. 
John R. Lakeman ; Quartermaster, Lieut. Samuel Dalton ; O, D., Capt. 
George A. Fisher ; O. G., Capt. John P. Reynolds ; Cliaplain, John P. 
Tilton. 

The first meetings were held in Bowker block, but the accommodations 
being inadequate, a removal was made to the present commodious quar- 
ters on St. Peter street. Later on the comrades removed twice to Associa- 
tion Hall, each time returning to their old quarters, like the squirrel in 
the fable, satisfied, and where they will probably remain until their final

muster out, unless some big-hearted citizen, witli ample means, shall erect 
for the Post a building- in which their meetings can be held, which shall 
be a memorial of the comrades who fought in the war for the Union, and 
as a repository for the relics of that sangumary struggle. Thousands of 
these trophies are now in the hands of the veterans, and they would 
gladly present them to the city in case they were to be preserved in the 
way indicated. They would remain as object lessons, not only to the citi- 
zens, but to the children and youth of the public schools, for all coming- 
time. Such a building would be to the giver a monument more enduring 
than marble or brass, and an ornament to the city as well. Who, that 
has his thousands at command, and is thinking how he best can [)erpetuate 
his name, will move in the matter? 

The above is applicable to every community where there is a G. A. R« 
Post. 

Past Commanders. 

The commanders of Post 34, and the dates when their respective terms 
of service closed, have been as follows, those marked with an asterisk 
being deceased : — 

*George H. Peirson, January, 1869; John R. Lakeman, July, 1869;

James B. Nichols, January, 1890 ; Almon Allard, January, 1891 ; John 
J. McCue, January, 1892 ; William H. Buker, January, 1893. 

Officers for 1893. 

The present officers of the Post are : Commander, William H. Nichols, 
3d; S. V. C, Samuel H. Hamblet; J. V. C, Everett E. Austin; Adju- 
tant, Albert J. Lowd; Quartermaster, E. A. Brown; Surgeon, Lucius P. 
Noyes ; Chaplain, Natlianiel D.Pierce ; Officer-of-the-Day, James E.Trask; 
Officer-of-thc-Guard, Daniel McCarthy ; Sergeant-Major, Milton Coffin ; 
Quartermaster-Sergeant, William G. Hamond. 

The membership of the Post is now rising 400. The treasury has been 
replenished from time to time by holding fairs. The sum now on hand 
is $2,383.98. During the past year the sum expended in sick benefits and 
charitable purposes was as follows: January, 1892, $150.75; February, 



POST 34, G. A. K., ijALEM. 7 

1892, $299.15; March, 1892, $291.91; April, 1892, $158.56; May, 1892, 
$233.63; June, 1892, $165.95; July, 1892, $118.30 ; August, 1892, $150.28 ; 
September, 1892, $223.50; October, 1892, $105.00; November, 1892, 
$88.80; December, 1892, $76.25; total, $1,857.08. It has cost the Post 
for relief, since its organization, about $36,000. There were 674 graves 
of soldiers in the cemeteries in this city wliich were decorated last Memo- 
rial Day. 

The headquarters at which the comrades gather on Tuesday evening of 
each week to hold their regular meetings, are commodious and attractive. 
The main hall has hanging upon its walls pictures suggestive of the 
stormy times of 1861-5 ; also may be seen in conspicuous places rare 
trophies of the war, some of which were captured on the field of battle- 
Leading from the hall are two ante-rooms, and beyond is a large banquet 
hall, upon the walls of which are hundreds of portraits of deceased com- 
rades. It was in this hall that General Sheridan dined when he visited 
Salem, and from the commander's platform in the adjoining hall he made 
his speech. The writer well remembers some of the significant words he 
uttered. Upon being called upon for some remarks, he arose and said 
that he was not in favor of much talking in public. "Talking generally 
gets people into trouble. One fellow says something about another fellow, 
who replies, hence trouble at once begins." The general continued by 
saying that he was forced to say some thing at City Hall in self-defence, yT^v>v<r^^-< 
because Mayor Rit T itow i drew a speech on him — suggesting by unmistaka- 
ble gesture that it came from his pocket. The day of General Sheridan's 
visit is a notable one in the history of^Salem. About this time was painted 
by C. C. Redmond, a local artist now deceased, who was possessed of rare 
genius in his line of work, a ])icture of the general, which now adorns 
the walls of the council chamber. 

Post 34 has been honored as perhaps no other Post has in the way of 
entertaining distinguished visitors. Two years ago last August, Com- 
mander-in-Chief Russell A. Alger — and with some inconvenience to him- 
self — thought he could do no less than to visit a Post which had had for a 
guest the hero of Winchester, or more properly speaking, Cedar Creek. 
Later on General Palmer, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army, greeted 
the comrades in their hall, and from whom he received a hearty soldiers' 
welcome. It is to be hoped that the day may be distant when Post 34 
shall lack for funds to carry on its beneficent work. As the years fade 
away the veterans are becoming less capacitated for manual labor, and to 
such as are in indigent circumstances the hand of relief should ever be 
open. They have richly earned all the so-called favors which fi'om time 
to time have been and may lie bestowed upon them. They are neither

mendicants nor su])pliants — they are men wbose loyalty to the old fla^, 
and the sturdy blows they struck for freedom, helped to save the nation 
in its peril. It is to be hoped that the poet Avas in a morbid state of mind 
when he uttered — 

To get a man's own, 

it is the very worst world that ever was known. 



WILLIAM H. NICHOLS, 3i>, 

Commander of Phil H. Sheridan Post 34, G. A. R., was born in Salem, 
May 9, 1844, and was educated in the Phillips and High schools.

At the time of General Pope's defeat, at the second Bull Run battle. 
General White's brigade, to which young Nichols belonged, was ordered 
to retire to Harper's Ferry, which was soon after invested by Stonewall 
Jackson. After three days' fighting the entire garrison, except the cav- 
rdry, was forced lo capitulate. The cavalry, some 1,500 in number, cut 
their way out the night before the surrender and joined General McClel- 
lan's army at Antietam. After his terra of enlistment had expired he re- 
enlisted, this time in Co. I, 6th Massachusetts Infantry, and served in the 
defence of Washington and at Fort Delaware. 

Commander Nichols was consular agent of the United States at Aden, 
Arabia, for some time, and until 1868, when he returned to his home in 
Salem. He is now engaged in business in Boston, but resides in Salem.

member of Massachusetts Legislature, 1861 ; Captain of tiie Union Drill

During his service he was with Burnside's expedition to North Caro- 
lina, and at the battles of Roanoke Island, New Berne, Whitehall, Kings- 
ton, and Goldsboro', under Gen. Foster. 

From 1875 to 1886 he was Secretary of the Essex Institute. He is 
the author of a history of the Salem Light Infantry, with which organ- 
ization he is prominently identified, having been elected Lieutenant in 
1853, and Major commanding the Salem Light Infantry Veteran Associ-

DAN VERS. 



SKETCH OF WARD POST 90. 

Ward Post 90, of Danvers, was organized and chartered June 8, 1869. 
In the years immediately following the end of the war of the rebellion, 
the soldiers and sailors of Danvers, although recognizing the fraternity, 
cordiality, and brotherly love arising from the close comradeship of the 
camp, the march, and the battlefield — and seeking every opportunity to 
express the same — were slow in joining tlie ranks of the newly organized 
"Grand Army of the Republic." 

In the early summer of 1869 the necessity of organization became so 
urgent, and its benefits so apparent, that application was made for a char- 
ter, and the following-named ex-soldiers met on the evening of June 8, 
1869, for the purpose of forming a Post of the G. A. R.: Daniel J. Pres- 
ton, Joseph E. Shaw, James Murray, Robert Smith, C. F. Kelley, A. O. 
Carter, Charles Drayton, Ebenezer Hunt, John F. Eveleth, Wra, H. Brown, 
Uriah Robertson, C. H. Masury, T. D. Crowley, Charles Guppy, Florance 
H. Crowley, Edw. P. Dodge, and James Inman. 

The kindly offices of Gen. George H. Peirson, Commander; Edward A. 
Phalan, Senior Vice-Commander ; Robert W. Reeves, Junior Vice-Com- 
mander; J. R. Lakeman, Adjutant; Ca|)t. J. P. Reynolds, Samuel Dalton, 
C. E. Chase, W. H. Flowers, Jr., and otliers of Post 34, Salem, were in- 
voked, and clieerfully rendered in impressing upon the recruits the im- 
portance of " Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty ;" also the forms and cere- 
monies connected with the " muster in " and organization. Next, a name 
must be selected. No titled officer, no ambitious sponsor gave it. Simply 
the " Ward Bros." — Danvers boys — Danvers soldiers, and both sacri- 
ficed their lives on the altar of their country. William and Angus Ward 
enlisted in Co. I, 14th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry (afterwards the 
1st Mass. H. A.), July 5, 1861. Both saw active service. William was taken 



POST jJi), G. A. R., DAN VERS. 15 

prisoner and confined in Libby Prison, and died at New York on his way 
home in 1864. Angus died in Regimental Hospital, March 4, 1864, un- 
doubtedly from exposure and hardship in the service. 

Major D. J. Preston was chosen Commander of the newly organized 
Post, and served one year (two terms of six mouths each). Names of 
the other Past Commanders are given elsewhere. 

Under the excellent administration of the several Commanders, the 
Post has prospered, and with the aid of an interested and working mem- 
bership, has been able to extend aid and comfort in the dispensing of a 
large amount of money. From the earliest days of the Post, it has had 
the countenance and active support of the lady friends of its members, 
but without organization until April 12, 1883, when the present "Ward 
Woman's Relief Corps, No. 12," was chartered, and its able and organ- 
ized assistance has been indispensable to the charity work of the Post. 

Another helpful auxiliary has been the "Associate Members" — citizens 
of the town — who have always generously responded to all calls for out- 
side aid. The Post has a roll of 44 Associate Members — welcomed to all 
their entertainments as brotliers by adoption. 

A study of the roster and records reveals the following interesting 
facts : Total number of members to date, 339 ; present active member- 
ship, 146; loss by death (represented in the Post Headquarters by 50 
memorial portraits), 50 ; amount expended for charity (approximately), 
$15,000. Organizations serving in the Union Army and Navy, repre- 
sented in the Post, will be seen in the roster. Of its record. Post 90 is 
justly proud. Started in a conservative and quiet country town — the 
patriotism and valor of whose people stand unchallenged since the days 
of the " Concord Fight" — its members have continued the good record 
of their ancestors as soldiers and citizens — in war and in peace — to the 
present time, and in one brotherhood, for " Fraternity, Charity, and 
Loyalty." 



TIMOTHY D. CROWLEY, 

Commander of Ward Post 90, G. A. R., of Danvers, was born in that 
town April 26, 1849. He enlisted August 23, 1864, in Co. A, 4th Mass. 
Heavy Artillery, and, as will be seen, was but a mere boy, being only 15 
years of age. The regiment was stationed in the defences at Washing- 
ton, D. C. 

September 15, 1869, Commander Crowley enlisted in Co. I, 13th U. S. 
Infantry, and was stationed on the northwestern frontier. Discharged as 
sergeant September 15, 1874, at Fort Steel, Wyoming Territory. 



16 POST :tO, G. A. H., DANVKRS. 

Comrade Crowley did service at Fort Shaw, Montana Territory, Camp 
Douglas, Utah Territory, and was provost-sergeant at the Salt Lake City 
riot, in 1872. 

For some years since the war Comrade Crowley has acted as police 
officer, serving both the towns of Danvers and Peabody in that capacity. 
He was a delegate in 1892 to the G. A. R. National Encampment, held 
in Washington, JJ. C. He is now servino- on his second term as Commander 
of Post 90. Was a cliarter member of the Post. 



R. D. BATES, 

Past Commander of Ward Post 90, of Danvers, is a native of Maine. 
He enlisted in Co. C, 1st (Maine) Batt. Infantry for one year, serving 
two months over his time. His service was full of hardship and exposure, 
as evidenced from the fact that seventy-five of the one liundred men com- 
posing his company gave up their lives. 

Comrade Bates has been an active member of the G. A. R. for twenty- 
five years, and has filled nearly every office in Post 90, serving as Com- 
mander in 1891. He was a member of the Department Commander's 
staff during that year, and has not missed attending a Department En- 
campment for twelve years. He has been an active business man during 
his twenty-five years' residence in Danvers, taking a hand in many enter- 
prises and improvements, not the least of wliich was the opening up of 
Central avenue and building of tenements. The touch of his enterprise 
is even felt in Beverly, where he has erected a store and dwelling houses. 

Comrade Bates is now a member and secretary of the Board of Select- 
men of Danvers, and is also a member of the Board of Health of that 
town. He resides on Conant street, and is very ])leasantly situated. 



WARREN PORTER, 



The subject of this sketch, is a native and resident of Danvers. He was 
a sea captain at the opening of the late war, and entered the U. S. naval 
service in 1863, as ensign on the steamer Magnolia, but was soon pro- 
moted to master, and ordered to the gunboat Honduras as executive 
officer. He assisted in the capture of the blockade runner Mattagorda, 
and was placed in command of her, and was ordered to Boston. The 
cargo, which was cotton, sold for $355,000.

Subsequently he was in commrind of Admiral Stribling's dispatch gun- 
boat. Commander Porter took part in several naval engagements, in- 
cluding that of Natural Bridge, and for some time was engaged in inter- 
cepting blockade runners. 

" Captain Porter was a s})lendid seaman," says George Colby, an officer 
who served with liirn, " and a skillful navigator, a Christian gentleman, 
and a man of more than ordinary courage. I recall an incident in con- 
nection with his taking command of the Nita. Admiral Stribling, in 
command of the squadron, sent for Porter one day, and said to him : 
' Mr. Porter, the Nita is down the coast with a broken shaft, and no one 
dares to take her to Key West. Will you take the responsibility to bring 
her here?' Porter promptly replied : ' Yes, sir.' This quick answer pleased 
the Admiral so much, he responded : ' I, sir, will take the responsibility.' " 

Comrade Porter is Past Commodore of the Essex Naval Veteran Asso- 
ciation.

SKETCH OF JOHN H. CHIPMAN, JR., POST 89, G. A. R. 
Organized June 5, liS(i9. 

Tlie Post was named iu memory of John H. Chipmau, Jr., a direct de- 
scendant of Rev. John Chipman, a noted divine who preached in Beverly 
65 years ago. He was 23 years old when he joined the army in 1861. 
He served in Co. E, 8th Massachusetts, for thi-ee months, and again shared 
its fortunes in the nine months' service, at the end of which time he raised 
a company for the 59th Regiment, and was chosen Captain. Captain 
Chipman was wounded at Cold Harbor ; taken prisoner at Petersburg 
and confined in Salisbury, North Carolina. He died of consumption soon 
after returning home at the close of the war. 

October 13, 1882, the soldiers' monument, wliich stands at the junction 
of Abbott and Endicott streets, was dedicated. It cost $4,800, the money 
being raised l)y John H. Chipman, Jr., Post 89, G. A. R., from the pro- 
ceeds of fairs and subscri})tions. The monument is white granite, 36 feet 
high, with a square base, 12x12 feet. The plinth is 6 feet 6 inches square 
and on the dies, 5 feet 4 inches square, are the inscriptions : 



To THE Soldiers and Sailoks 
OF Beverly. 



Erected in behalf of the Citizens of the Town by Post 89, Department of 
Massachusetts, Grand Army of the Republic, 1882. 



Embalmed in the memories of the succeeding generations, the heroic 
dead will live on in immortal youth, teaching, in eloquent silence, the 
lesson of the citizens' duty to the State.

Sixty-two comrades have died since the Post was organized, two of 
ihein Past Commanders. The amount expended for relief since the Post 
was organized, $14,650.36. The amount in the relief fund, October 1, 
1893, $2,026.95. There were enlisted in this town during the M^ar 988 
men, of whom 74 were in the IJ. S. N., and 32 of the total number were 
commissioned officers. The first soldier killed in action was William 
Wallace, who was mortally wounded at the battle of Newberne, March 14, 
1862. Levi F. Larcom, the first soldier to be buried in this town, was 
private of Co. G, 17th Mass. Vols.; died in Baltimore, Md., December 18, 
1861. 



CAPT. WINTROP E. PERRY, 

Commander of John H. Chipman, Jr., Post 89, G. A. R., Beverly, en- 
listed August 12, 1862, in Company E, 8th Regiment, Mass. Vols., for th-^ 
period of nine months, and was discharged August 7, 1863. Re-enlisted 
April 28, 1864, in the 2d Co. Mass. Unattached Infantry for 90 days; also 
subsequently served for 100 days. Final discharge November 15, 1864. 
In the last two enlistments severed as corporal. 

December 15, 1864, Captain Perry's old company was reorganized under 
the militia laws, and attached to the 8th Regiment. He was appointed 
sergeant and company clerk, and successively elected to the positions of 
2d and 1st Lieutenant, and in May, 1888, was elected Captain. Resigned 
February 24, 1892, after an honorable service of 25 years. 

During Captain Perry's service as commander he saw that the company 
was in need of bjtter quarters, and, through persistent efforts, obtained 
the commodious and splendid armory which they now occu])y — the best 
in the State for a single company. 

Captain Perry was born in Beverly, and has always been a resident of 
that place. He is a member of several local organizations, among which 
are Bass River Lodge of Odd Fellows, of which he is Past Grand ; Past 
Chief Patriarch of Summit Encampment, and a member of Chicatabut 
Tribe of Red Men.

SKETCH OF UNION POST 50. 

For some tijne previous to 1879 there had been a G. A. II. Post and an 
Army and Navy Union in Peabody. Both were desirous of uniting in 
one organization; consequently they surrendered their respective charters 
and on the 28tli of April, 1879, were granted a charter as Union Post 50, 
G. A. R., with a membership of 165. 

Since the Post's organization 265 members have been connected with it. 
The present membership is 136. 

The past commanders, with their terms of service, are as follows : 

Cyrus T. Batchelder, 1879-80 ; Winsor M. Ward, 1881-2 ; William H. 
Hildreth, 1883; George F. Barnes, 1884-5; Frank E. Farnham, 1886; 
Thomas H. Jackman, 1887-8 ; George F. Ward, 1889; William F. Wiley, 
1890-1 ; Nicholas M. Quint, 1892, who is now serving on his second terra. 

The present officers are : Commander, Nicholas M. Quint ; 8. V. C, 
Samuel G. Southwick ; J. V. C, Albert E. Copeland ; Adj., Cyrus T.

HARMONY GROVE. 
Gknkkal Miller and Othkii Noied Men. 

Harmony Grove, Salem, is one of the most attractive cemeteries in 
Massachusetts. It is questioned whether it is surpassed for natural and 
artificial beauty in any burial ground in the country. Mt. Auburn and 
Forest Hill may have had a larger amount of wealth lavished upon them, 
and more costly monuments may have been erected by owners of lots in 
those cemeteries, but for beauty and variety Harmony Grove cannot well 
be surpassed. The artistic monumental work and the elaborately-chiseled 
designs, the ornamental trees and shrubbery and the winding paths and 
avenues, the primeval conditions of rock and strata from which nature's 
handiwork has not been obliterated, — all combine to form a scene at once 
picturesque, beautiful, and grand. 

At the entrance are many floral designs, particularly noticeable. Near 
by is a bronzed lion lying down with the whitest of lambs. How strangely 
suggestive of that day when the restless passions shall be stilled, and the 
rule of love will control. 

The artificial pond near the gate has been rebuilt and enlarged, in which 
are blooming lilies in their season. In close proximity are ferns, water- 
plants, etc. The rocks comprising the collection on the front avenue 
wei-e taken out of low, damp land, and on being exposed to the sun for 
several years the soft part has decomposed, leaving nothing but a heavy 
iron substance, wliich has been formed into many novel and grotesque 
designs. It is a popular error that falling water has worn these rocks into 
their present shape. 

Harmony Grove is known of, almost everywhere Salem is known. 
Many who have gone out from their old homes to reside elsewhere, cherish 
fond and affectionate remembrance of this home of the dead, for in 
very many cases some of their old-time friends are buried here. 

Among those who once figured prominently in the world's affairs, who 
rest from their labors here, are eminent soldiers and statesmen, jurists, 
scholars, and others. Here repose the remains of Jesse Smith, an officer 
in Washington's body guard, to whose memory a marble column, sur- 
mounted with a chiseled bust of that officer, dressed in his military 
uniform, was erected many years ago. Resting upon his shoulders is the 
old queue, in fashion a century ago. 

The remains of George Peabody, the great London banker, who was a 
native of Essex county, are interred here. Surmounting his tomb is a 
massive sarcoi)hagus of unpolished granite, and facing the south is a 



32 MISCELLANEOUS. 

granite wall, which stands guarding, as it were, the precious dust within. 
His was the wealth that was freely disti'ibuted among the poor and for 
the founding or educational institutions, he never for once forgetting the 
home of his boyhood and his native land in his princely gifts. 

Mr. Peabody's body was brought from London to his own beloved 
Essex in H. M. Ship Monarch, convoyed by the U. S. JS". Corvette Ply- 
mouth, most fitting union of the flags of two great nations, honoring alike 
the dead and the living. Touching this international etiquette and feel- 
ing, well has the poet sung: — 

•' Some mighty man of war this needs must be, 
Thus by an English warship graveward borne. 

In a Columbian warship's company — 
One whom two nations wreathe their flags to mourn '." 

He fought, howevei*, the silent flght with want ami woe, and asserted 
no merit and demanded no meed. 

Upon a high elevation facing the south, on the left of the main avenue, 
is the grave of Brigadier-General James Miller, who distinguished him- 
self in the war of 1812, notably in the battle of Niagara, or more com- 
monly known as Lundy's Lane. His memorable words in that engagement, 
" I'll try," when asked by the commanding general if he could take a 
battery that was doing terrible execution on the American forces, have 
passed down into history. He did try, and to some ])urpose, for he not 
only accomplished what he undertook, but his impetuous and determined 
charge changed the fortunes of the day in favor of the American army. 
His services were recognized by Congress, that body presenting him a 
gold medal and honoring him with the rank of brigadier-general. 

From 1819 to 1825 General Miller was governor of Arkansas, then a 
territory, and was subsequently collector of the port of Salem. When 
the Democratic party came into jiower under Jackson, the " spoils sys- 
tem," which had been unknown under the administrations of Jefferson 
and the Adamses, was inaugurated. 

A gentleman in Salem, who remembers General Miller very well, in- 
forms the writer that immediately after Jackson's inauguration, the friends 
of the administration here in Salem selected a politician of their own 
stripe to take the general's place in the custom house. A petition, signed 
by leading Democrats, was sent to the President, naming the new man, 
and he was forthwith ai)pointed. The general's wife and some of his 
friends addressed a strong letter to Jackson, recounting the eminent ser- 
vices General Miller had rendered the country, and showing the injustice 
that had been done him in his old age and when he really was needy. A 



MISCELLANEOUS. 33 

letter soon came from "Old Hickory " to the general, regretting what had 
been done, and also an assurance that he could hold the office as long as 
he (Jackson) was President. 

It is said that the President wrote an abusive letter to those who had 
been the means of getting the general out of office. He was never troubled 
afterwards, and held the office up to the day of his death. 

The spot where rest the remains of General Miller is marked with a 
rectangular block of freestone, and upon the respective sides of the apex 
are the inscriptions: "Brigadier-General James Miller, 1776-1851," and 
Niagara, Chippewa, and other battles in which he participated. A*-tk^

from which and gracefutly interlacing each other at regular intervals are 
tasselated chains, dark and corroded, whi€rh inj-part to-theplace a funereal 
-aspect. And here, in this beautiful city of the dead, among these man- 
sions from whose marble doors no friendly recognitions come, lies the 
hero of Lundy's Lane. 

■' No sound cau awake hiui to glory aj^ain." 

The snows of winter may drift in, and the winds sweep through the 
leafless trees in loud acclaim, but they disturb him not. And so when the 
summer days come, when the blithesome notes of the bluebird and robin 
go out on the straying breeze, the sleeper still sleeps. 

How brief and transitory are the prestige and influence of worldly 
titles, and how few there are to-day who have ever heard of General 
Miller! and yet he was borne to his grave amid the pomp and circum. 
stance of military display. True, Longfellow has sung — 

" Lives of great men all remind us 
We can make our lives sublime : '" 

and yet it must be confessed that but a few exist in memory beyond the 
bounds of the grave. But there is something higher, grander, and nobler 
to be sought, and more enduring even than monuments, and it is the in- 
ward consciousness of having "acted well our part." In this, as has been 
well said, all the honor lies. 

Hon. George B. Loring was buried in Harmony Grove, as was Capt. 
John Bertram, one of Salem's eminent merchants. The soldiers' monu- 
nient, a gift f r om Erue&t FcnolloGa ^ is a beautiful jiiece of artistic work. 
The remains of hundreds of those who fought in the late wiir also repose 
in this enclosure of the dead. y 






SHOT AND SHELL. 

The Entertainment Committee of Post 34 did a good thing when they 
inaugurated the series of entertainments which have been given the past 
season. Descriptions of battles and reminiscences have been the principal 
themes. Old scenes have been recalled, and an interest awakened by 
those recitals which have been i)roductive of good. The Beverly and 
Danvers Po.^ts iiave had similar entertainments. 

Our advertisers, whose favoi's occupy space in this book, are reliable 
merchants, to whom we refer the comrades in need of any of the goods 
they dispense. It is always well to remember that "one good turn deserves 
another." In " trading " always give preference to the friends of the 
veterans. 

The large sums of money disbursed for charitable purposes and in sick 
benefits, by the Grand Army Postv.-.in Salem and vicinity, will be seen by 
reference to the several financial re^:orts. When this vast amount of 
good — which has been and is being accomplished by the Grand Army — 
is duly considered, sufficient reason is adduced for the existence of the 
organization, if nothing more was presented as an argument for its con- 
tinued life and growth. No other order in the country has such a valid 
claim on citizens as the Grand Army of the Republic. In the course of 
time it must die, like everything human, but let it die a natural death. 

The first death in Post 89, Beverly, was that of Wm. A. Self, who was 
killed at the Revere accident, Aug. 6, 1871. 

This souvenir book will be valuable for many years to come, and will 
doubtless be preserved with care. 

Post 34 now has a membership of 425. Numerically it stands fourth 
in the State, and in many respects, first. 

The comrades of Posts 34, Salem ; 90, Danvers ; 89, Beverly ; 50, Pea- 
body, and 82, Marblehead, are very near to each other in more senses 
than one, hence there is a bond of unity with them which will be as last- 
ing as life itself. 

Mr. Z. A. Gallup has in his possession an old bull's-eye watch, once the 
property of his great, great, great-grandfather, Capt. John Gallup, who fell 
in the ntemorable swamp tight with King Philip and his blood-thirsty war- 



MISCELLAXEOUS. 35 

riors — the last stand made by that renowned chieftain. Six other captains, 
near Captain Gallnp, shared his fate. The watcli was taken from his pocket 
after his death, and tlie silver buttons Avere cut from his coat, which Mr. 
Gallup also has. Captain Gallup was a noted fighter, and gave evidence 
of his courage in many campaigns. He was descended from William the 
Conqueror. 

In order to get a pension nowadays, without much trouble, one has 
only to prove that lie was in the Mexican war. A large percentage of 
these pensions goes to ex-rebels, many of whom served but sixty days, 
and yet the government gives them all a "service pension" of 81*i a 
montli. If any soldiers in the country deserve a pension of that nature, 
it IS those who fought lo save tlie very life of tlie nation. The casualties 
and h ardships encountered in the Mexican war were as the outcome of a 
militia sham fight, in comparison with the service and destructiveness 
of the war of the rebellion. 

The portraits we present on other pages of this book are of represent- 
ative Grand Army men, and the number just like them is legion. Would 
that we could give the pictures of all equally as prominent, but there 
must be a limit, even to good things. 

The summciry manner in which Hoke Smith, or his trusted lieutenant, 
Lo chren, is cutting off the pensions of deserving and disabled veterans, 
is like hanging a man and trying him afterwards. We fear the present 
ad ministration has not much love for the old soldiers. 



MEMORIAL DAY AND ITS LESSONS. 

Memorial day is set apart from all other days to honor the names of 
those who died in defence of our common country ; also to render a grate- 
ful tribute to the living who struggled to sustain the national life. 

Comrades of the fall en annually assemble, amid the fragrance and 
bloom of returning summer, to take up their line of march for tlie ceme- 
teries where repose the dead, to scatter upon their graves the freshest 
and choicest flowers. 

It is not necessary to speak of the suffering experienced during those 
long, bitter years of the Rebellion, in order to have citizens appreciate 
the courage and self-sacrificing spirit of those who went forth to battle 
for the old flag. 

The time is vividly recalled when citizens walked the streets with pale 



86 MISCELLANEOUS. 

faces and compressed lips; wlien the long roll of the drum and the shrill 
notes of the fife were heard on every hand. , 

" It was an awful and portentous shadow 
That overcast the earth, 
And smote the land that year with desolation, 
And darkened every health." 

This day means much to us as citizens. It speaks to us more forcihly 
and eloquently than any living orator of the sacrifices made to i)erpetu- 
ate the national life, and exerts upon society a more powerful influence. 
It speaks to us of an undivided country — of a return of prosperity and 
j^eace, brought about by the heroism of those who stood between us and 
a merciless foe. And more. It speaks to us of the duty we owe to the 
living for what they did for us. For what the soldier was he should be 
remembered to-day. 

Again, we should imi)ress upon the youth of to-day the cost and mean- 
ing of the war for the Union, so as to inspire them with nobler motives 
and a truer patriotism. But the fallen heroes we honor are not dead ! 
They die whose unhonored lives are lengthened out afar from the post of 
danger; whose energies are wasted in self-seeking. Their memories rot; 
their names are lost beneath oblivion's wave. The lives of those we com- 
memorate are woven into the very warp and woof of the national being. 
They live in the institutions they have preserved. Their influence re- 
mains a vital force — moving the living of to-day and of the future. 

Are the heroes of the Revolution dead ? Mingle not their lives with 
those of to-day. There are those in every community who think it a 
waste of time and money to decorate the soldiers' graves with flowers. 
In this connection it is well to remember that it is recorded on one of the 
most sacred pages of Holy Writ, that a woman, on a certain occasion, was 
rather free with the use of an alabaster box of precious ointment. Some 
of the disciples were troubled because of her prodigality, but they were 
rebuked by the Master. 

When the Prophet of olden time led the chosen ])eo])le out of 
Egypt to the "Promised Land," he instituted certain memorial days, and 
impressed it upon their minds that when their children, from generation 
to generation, should inquire of them: " What mean ye by this servije?" 
they should rehearse the story of the mighty deeds of old, in order to 
keep alive their reverence for the God of their fathers. 

In performing the beautiful service of decoration, so solemn and im- 
jn-essive to us all, we should remember what the dead sacrificed that " the 
government of and for the people miglit not perish from the earth." Every 
citizen should feel profoundly grateful that 



MISCELLANEOUS. 37 

" The ueighiug troop, the flashing blade, 
The bugle's stirring blast, 
The charge, the dreadful cannonade, 
The din and shout are past." 

As we gather about the graves of the fallen braves, and scatter upon 
them the emblems of our love and affection, the sentiment uppermost in 
our hearts shall be : — 

" Rest on embalmed and sainted dead. 
Dear as the blood ye gave, 
No impious footsteps here shall tread 
The herbage of your grave.'' 



WAR TROPHIES. 



Among the more important things associating the present with the past 
are trophies from the battlefields of the late war for the Union. Com- 
rade Henry M. Robinson has, perhaps, one of the largest collections in 
Essex county, in which are the following articles : 

Belt-plate from Ashby's guerillas, lettered, " A, V. C"; "hardtack" 
issued to the array in 1861 ; "Confederate States Almanack, compiled and 
published by H. C. Clark, Vicksburg, 1862 "; shot in limb of tree, Spott- 
sylvania. May 12, 1864; cartridge picked up at Little Big Horn, two days 
after Custer's fight; Confederate scrip and bills ; piece of rebel flag from 
steamer Nashville ; bullets from the Wilderness battlefield ; Maynard 
primer rifle, picked up at first Bull Run battle ; broken sword from Pea 
Ridge; silver-mounted sabre from Nashville; Confederate canteen, 23d 
North Carolina regiment ; Union canteen carried through the entire serv- 
ice ; watchman's rattle from old ship Hartford ; shotgun from Winchester, 
Va.; old flint-lock pistol, captured at Harper's Ferry; Derringer 
pistol picked at Martinsburg, Va.; hand grenade from Fort Barnard, 
Va., picked up by Lieut. James W. Nichols ; muskets used in the war of 
the Revolution and in 1812, both carried by Salem men ; bullet from the 
"Crater"; flowers picked up at Morris Island, on the same day, and near 
the spot where Colonel Shaw fell ; piece of wood from the ship Constitu- 
tion ; piece of wood from the Kearsarge, secured by Austin Quinby, a 
gunner on that ship in the fight with the Alabama ; bayonets from second 
battle of Bull Run and South Mountain ; cartridge boxes used in the war 
of the Revolution, and in 1812; gourd from Libby Prison, with unique 
carvings. This comprises but a part of the collection. 



38 MISCELLANEOUS. 

Comrade Robinson was in Ford's theater wlien President Lincoln was 
shot, he being Sergeant-Major of the 5th N. H. Regiment at the time, and 
on detached service, and he has a sad reminder of that fateful night in 
the shape of a program of the play, " Our American Cousin," it being 
the occasion, as will be remembered, of a " benefit" to Miss Laura Keene. 

Comrades Past Commander Amos Stillman, S. P. Combs, Edwin A. 
Hall, and others of Post 34, also have many reminders of the battlefield. 



SLEEP, O SWEETLY SLEEP. 

The red cloud of war has melted away, 
And the bugle call has ceased its thrilling, 

While glad songs arise to welcome the day — 
'Tis the joys of Peace our hearts are filling. 

Sleep! O sweetly sleep! 

Ye war-worn and brave; 
Dear Comrades who died 

A nation to save ! 

To Country ye left a heritage free— 

Blessings which shall float down through the ages ; 
And the victory won shall unchanging be — 

Fair as jewel bright on hist'ry's pages. 

Sleep! O sweetly sleep! 

All who nobly fell; — 
Men and women fair, 

Your exploits shall tell.

THE CHEERFUL BUCCANEER. 

BY S. H. HAMBLET. 



It was a cheerful Buccaneer 
Was perched up on the mizzen, 

Surveying of the horizon— 
For things that were not his'n ; 

For ships, and brigs, and sloops, and such, 

In his mad haste to acquire much, 
He coveted, up there. 





THE CHEERFUL BUCCANEER. 



The chief-mate on the quarter-deck, 
To the port and starboard looks — 

The skipper in the cabin, down below, 
A-reading the RoUo books — 

" To a good fat prize I am not averse, 

" But they seem to-day uncommonly 
skerse" ; — 
The chief-mate heaved a sigh.

" O wot is tliat 1 sees? "

His voice rings on the breeze — 
" My tarry toplights shivered may be," 
(This is the way men talk who follow the 

sea), 
" If here ain't the United States Navee, 

" A-comiug this way !"

" O Buccaneer so high ;

" For to cast your starboard eye, 
" And report to me in accent glil», 
" In specific terms the cut of her jib," 

The chief -mate telephoned. 



THE CHIEF MATE TELEPHONED. 



Thrice whirled he around on his giddy 
perch, 

The Buccaneer so true. 
The better to gain of the coming craft 

A general bird's-eye view. 
" If I must speak, ami speak I vinst, 
"I views that craft with extreme distrust — 

"Admiual Fauuagut's at tue iiellum !"

At each other did rail and scoff; — 
With unkind words and actions rude, 
The terrible conflict they pursued, 

With all their might, and main. 



Meanwhile the cheerful Buccaneer 

No longer cheerful whs; 
From his position he could see 

The error of his cause ; 
So in a dory, unobserved, 
He from the scene of conflict swerved 

And pulled for the shore. 

" Here on this uninhabited isle 
" I will letid an upright life; 

" Yet can I not, at once, forego 
" The f<ani/tiinar!/ strife" 

So on that bleak and lonesome shore 

He opened a ready-made clothing store 
And slaugh lERKD off his goods ! 









IN A dory unobserved. 



The clipeifnl Bucoatieer is one of a series of "Hanrt-Matle Ballads," prepared more especially for 
the instruction and edification of children. Although the writer has never been on the water much, 
he has conversed a great deal with seafaring men, and has been an earnest student of the works of 
the late Ned Runtline, and so is enabled to write on nautical themes in a manner an(l style that is 
noticeably different from that of other and more pretentious writers who seek to gain the public ear.
